Zombie Loan Episode 9: The Living Corpse

By Briar | Published: August 29, 2007

Who is this guy in a retro Chinese room, a retro Chinese ma-gua shirt, a retro pseudo-Chinese pose? This week includes such a bloody enormous revelation I blogged this immediately, instead of waiting for a free day. (It doesn’t hurt that I was unexpectedly let off earlier by an hour.)
